No. 66.—Multuiu-iii-Farvo Pocket-K.ulfe.

The forks and spoons offered above are es¬ 
pecially commendable for beauty of design, 
(the style illustrated, named the “Niagara,” is 
one of the most recent patterns), and the thor¬ 
ough and honest manner tu 
1 which they are made. Elec¬ 
tro-plating, like charity, 
can be made to cloak any 
amount of fraud, aud it Is 
only in the reputation of 
the manufacturer that the 
purchaser has any guar¬ 
antee that the article is as 
represented. t 
The process of electro¬ 
plating with silver is quite 
simple. The articles to be 
coated with the film are 
placed in a “bath,” which 
is composed of double 
cynadido of silver and po¬ 
tassium, held in a wooden 
vat. The articles are hung 
by copper wires from brass 
rode, and then the con¬ 
nection is made with the 
battery, and after about 
au hour the process Is 
completed. Almost any 
kind of metal may be thus 
coated ; hence it may be 
seen that the worth of the 
goods depends entirely ou 
the honesty of their maker. 
We have always been ex¬ 
tremely careful to select 
our silver-ware premiums 
from those only whose 
reputation is unblemished, 
aud we have had our reward 
In the satisfaction expressed 
by our friends. ^ 
No article of this char¬ 
acter receives such con¬ 
stant hard usage as forks 
and Bpoons, therefore it Is 
of the first importance 
that the metal underneath 
the Bilver coatiug should be 
thoroughly adapted to its 
use. These articles are 
from the well-known house 
of Hall, Elton & Co., Walliugford, Conu., 
whose forty years of experience are a substan¬ 
tial guarrantee of m uufueturiug the quality 
of the premiums above offered.
